Lay Me Down in Green Pastures
Visions of what used to be
Comes to set my spirit free
The distant past is fading fast
As the warm earth covers me
The two of us that once was we
The children I no longer see
A lonely scene in pastures green
As the warm earth covers me
No friends show, nor family
No bowed heads or eulogy
No words are said to praise the dead
As the warm earth covers me
